iwc watchmaking class of 2011

hi guys , we recently had a watchmaking class here in auckland care of IWC. The night entailed disassembling a movement and then putting it back together again under the supervision of an IWC watchmaker based here in NZ , afterwards dinner and drinks were devoured where we talked about our lack of ability in being future watchmakers. It was a really enjoyable evening which really opened my eyes to the day in day out difficulties a watchmaker faces every day, many thanks to my AD and also to Edwin from IWC

Not easy, eeeh?

Congratulations, as you were brave enough to try, while I didn't have this bravery, I must say. Or maybe is it due to my total lack of patience? So, isn't that kind of experience which allows you to better appreciate your beloved tic tacs? Thanks for shar...

no not easy

my movement had more hits than elvis by the end of the evening not to mention the number of screws that i lost on the floor, apparently what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger they say? best darma

Now that looks like it was fun.

I was lucky to be invited by IWC and my AD to a similar event in August this year. Great that IWC is doing this type of events. Here is the link to the event I posted earlier this year IWC Watchmaking Masterclass and Dinner . I wonder why all the Richemon...

not sure how i missed your report but it puts mine to shame , i see the common thread with the edwin's. My fav watch from the collection would probably be the porto minute repeater. regards darma

The portofino minute repeater is very good value
